The Evil Knight Minion is the evil duplicate of Chop Chop and one of Kaosminions. In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, he is the second of three bosses fought at the end of Creepy Citadel, where he and the other two minions must be defeated to collect the Eternal Undead Source.

Abilities

Having identical abilities to Chop Chop, the Evil Knight Minion begins by blocking all incoming attacks with his shield while walking toward the Skylanders. He then swings his sword twice before doing a Arkeyan Cyclone combo attack.

In Giants, unlike their original appearance in Spyro's Adventure, their attack patterns are now coordinated: one will start by slashing twice, while the other follows up with the Arkeyan Cyclone spin attack. They then switch roles, alternating between slashes and spins. If one is defeated, the remaining Evil Knight Minion continues the pattern alone, executing two slashes before performing the spin attack. Additionally, they are equipped with the Vampiric Aura upgrade, allowing them to heal whenever they defeat a Skylander or any of their minions, such as Eye-Brawl’s eye crawlers or Sonic Boom’s chicks.
